# Patho-radiological concordance in brain tumors - A retrospective study

## TL;DR

This study examines how MRI imaging and pathology reports align in diagnosing brain tumors, finding that MRI can improve diagnostic accuracy.

## Contribution

The study provides evidence supporting the routine use of MRI to enhance brain tumor diagnosis.

## Key findings

- MRI imaging showed mild to moderate agreement with biopsy results in brain tumor cases.
- Meningioma was the most common tumor type found in the cerebrum.
- MRI can help distinguish brain tumors from other intracranial mass mimickers.

## Abstract

This study analyzed 102 brain tumor cases using MRI imaging and pathological data. The cerebrum was the most common affected site,
with meningioma being the most common. The concordance between MRI and biopsy reports was mild to moderate. Data shows that MRI imaging
may increase diagnostic accuracy of brain tumors and should be routinely performed in all suspicious cases. Correlation of MRI findings
can help rule out other mimickers of intracranial mass.
